| A. r., of Bangor Thursday night, Gen. Charles
| Hamlin introduced resolutions culogi>tic of
| Gen. Logan'> military career, his loyalty to
| his country. aud devotion to his comrades.
| COmrade eX-tice-President Hannibal Hamin
| seconded the resolutions, making most elo-
quent and touching speech. "For 30 years." he
| said. my relations with Gen. Logan were close
and intimate, and tits a consolation to know
that we stood together, shoulder to shoulder, in
| the days that tried mems souls, without differ
ence in our views as to the duties of the day.
In him were combined two qualities in excess
| of any other American, he being both general
and a statesman. He was underestmated. He
| stood high both in the field and in the council
but he was justly entitled to stand higher. He
was man of conviction as well as courage.
| Never was there more honest man. He always
| sought to find out what was just and right We
| raise monuments of granite to our heroic dead,
but the heroic acts of John A. Logan will out
live them all long after these monuments shall
have been dissolved. They will live as long as
love and liberty spring in the human breast, as
long as men prefer nobility Of character and
noble deeds.o
